Lexington Forest Residence
Before: View from curb features garage too prominently. There is no pedestrian access, only for cars.
After: New walkway gives distraction from garage and welcomes visitors to the home.

Before: Narrow walk way, made even narrower by scratchy bushes. Failing plants near doorway due to lack of light.
After construction but before planting: Interesting pattern in bluestone walk dressed up with edging.Beds to left and right to be planted with low shade-loving plants.

Before: Bluestone and peastone walk was scattered and annoying to residents.
After: New bluestone walkway eliminates scattering peastone. At left is 'drip strip' to keep foundation dry.

Before: House emlargement destroyed previous patio.
After: Random patio bordered by seating wall. In background slope is resolved by a rip-rap wall set in with rock stairs.
